Cerebus the Aardvark #1 (and Spawn #10) en Español

Living the Line's next Kickstarter is gonna has TWENTY-ONE pages of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond in it. These are pages Dave has drawn since the wrist started working again. And the latest update has a NEW Tier:

Hello everyone!

Now THAT is a killer first 48 hours! Closing in on $11,000, and most importantly to me, over 240 individual backers. An incredible opening two days.

That means that at this clip we are almost guaranteed to recoup our $12,000 in legal costs, and begin making a dent in the $24,000 owed to us by the Diamond estate and their new owners Ad Populum. Truly a tremendous effort.

I wanted to celebrate by opening up a new reward tier. Yesterday I went through and assembled all of the Quarter Bin Archeology tiers (which were limited to 25) and while doing so, spent some time looking around the office at the literal hundreds of office copies of various Cerebus the Aardvark- related projects that Sean designed or did production for over the years.

We decided to open these up as well, in a special Aardvark Archeology Aephemera tier! Get it while it's hot.

For over a decade, Sean worked on digital restoration of the 6000 page Cerebus the Aardvark. In that time, he received a TON of office copies of various Aardvark-related projects. In addition to a print copy of CONSIGNED, a digital copy of CONSIGNED, every backer to this tier will receive a copy of 

• a. SPAWN #10 remastered, cover randomly selected from the LtL long box of office copies! 

• b. CEREBUS #1 or #2 remastered, cover randomly selected from the LtL long box of office copies! 

• c. FIVE randomly-selected issues of CEREBUS IN HELL, from the entire run of the book! d. a handful of goodies (post cards, pins, cards, stickers) from various aardvark-related campaigns

Thanks again to everyone for a tremendous first two days. Please do tell your comics-reading friends about this project, and our books, if you are so moved.

All the best,

Sean
Living the Line

And the Tyrant Kickstarter!

Okay, back to "bizness as usual"...

The past Week in AMOC:

• Saturday: Cerebus Archive #4 part 2
• Sunday: Cerebus Archive #4 part 3
• Monday: Cerebus #18.
• Tuesday: Since Jen did the First show, I'm back posting on Tuesdays. Still posting to help raise funds on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe, $200 until page 128 of Dave's POST-Carson SDOAR mock-up pages unlocks. Anyway, I'ma post ALL of glamourpuss over the next how many weeks. AND GoFundMe has a MONTHLY option now, so you can schedule a reoccurring donation. And TWENTY-ONE pages of SDOAR drawn by Dave are in CONSIGNED, Living the Line's next Kickstarter
• Wednesday: MORE Weekly Cerebus in Hell? Strips. This one is written by Dave. Follow along on Instagram. And https://www.ebay.com/itm/236664955396 (Somebody was looking for the Vardalorian...)

Now she's gonna burn through all of Notebook #21. So sit back and get ready for pages and pages and pages of walls of handwritten text... This week,  more from Reads that is and isn't in Reads!
• Friday: that's this post. You're reading the Friday post right now. This is STILL like that bit in Spaceballs. (Should I link to LAST WEEK'S Update in these things?)

Okay, so that was the last week on AMOC. You're welcome. I do this for free, but if you got a couple of bucks (I don't know how that's possible, given the links to neat stuff in this post, but Hey! I've been wrong before and will probably be so again (real soon)...), and wanna leave Dave a "tip", there's these "donate to the Dave Sim Fund" buttons somewhere on CerebusDownloads.com (I didn't lay out that place, and I didn't have nothin' to do with the latest redesign, so don't come at me if you have troubles over there...), and you can give Dave all the money you care too. (There's also links there that will help you buy all the stuff...) Did I mention Dave turns seventy in May?
